Senior DevOps engineer focused on cloud reliability and platform automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a DevOps / Platform Engineer with several years of experience designing, building, and operating cloud-native infrastructure for production systems. My work has focused on automation, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and reliability, with a strong emphasis on developer experience (DevX) and platform thinking.
Over the past years, I’ve worked closely with engineering teams as part of a DevX-focused environment, helping reduce operational friction, improve delivery workflows, and build self-service capabilities that enable developers to work more efficiently and independently. I enjoy treating infrastructure as a product, collaborating with internal stakeholders, and translating real developer needs into scalable, reliable platform solutions.
Technically, I’ve worked across cloud platforms (primarily GCP), container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and Linux-based systems. I’m comfortable operating production environments, improving reliability, and automating repetitive tasks to reduce toil. I also value clear documentation, thoughtful communication, and building systems that are easy to understand and maintain.
Beyond the technical side, I care deeply about how teams work together. I believe strong collaboration, trust, and clear communication are just as important as good architecture. Colleagues often describe me as committed, detail-oriented, and fast-moving, with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
